On the other side of the lens

9/23/2015

I had the opportunity to schedule a session recently for a nursing session with my 9 month old. I included my 3 year old in a couple even though our nursing journey was very short lived, just to remember that I did nurse them both!
It was pretty nerve wracking to be on the other side of the lens! My 3 year old was unusually uncooperative and you can't see it in the pictures but I was talking through my smile, sweating, hoping Arianna would cooperate, praying Nola would not pee on me and trying to hold her up to eat while she kept getting distracted and popping off!
Talk about stress!
It reminded me how my clients feel during a session. Often at a sales appointment that is all they remember-the sheer chaos-and are astounded we got any good portraits, much less lots of great ones! It's hard to remember that the camera is shooting and getting good stuff even if from your vantage point it's absolutely crazy!
Here is a great one with myself and Nola. Follow the link to see the rest if you like. The are nursing portraits though so keep that in mind should you decide to follow the link :-)
